Detailed Description

Current Time Service client module.

This module implements the Current Time Service (CTS) client-peripheral role of the Time Profile. After security is established, the module tries to discover the Current Time Service and Characteristic on the central side. If this succeeds, the application can trigger a read of the current time from the connected server.

The module informs the application about a successful discovery using the BLE_CTS_C_EVT_DISCOVERY_COMPLETE event. The handles for the CTS server is now available in the ble_cts_c_evt_t structure. These handles must be assigned to an instance of CTS_C, using ble_cts_c_handles_assign. For more information about service discovery, see the ble_discovery module documentation Database Discovery Module.

The application can then use the function ble_cts_c_current_time_read to read the current time. If the read succeeds, it will trigger either a BLE_CTS_C_EVT_CURRENT_TIME event or a BLE_CTS_C_EVT_INVALID_TIME event (depending on if the data that was read was actually a valid time), which is then sent to the application. The current time is then available in the params field of the passed ble_cts_c_evt_t structure.

Note
The application must propagate BLE stack events to this module by calling ble_cts_c_on_ble_evt() from the SoftDevice Event Handler callback function.

Enumeration Type Documentation

Current Time Service client event type.

Enumerator
BLE_CTS_C_EVT_DISCOVERY_COMPLETE 

The Current Time Service was found at the peer.

BLE_CTS_C_EVT_DISCOVERY_FAILED 

The Current Time Service was not found at the peer.

BLE_CTS_C_EVT_DISCONN_COMPLETE 

Event indicating that the Current Time Service client module has finished processing the BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event. This event is raised only if a valid instance of the Current Time Service was found at the server. The event can be used by the application to do clean up related to the Current Time Service client.

BLE_CTS_C_EVT_CURRENT_TIME 

A new current time reading has been received.

BLE_CTS_C_EVT_INVALID_TIME 

The current time value received from the peer is invalid.

Function Documentation

uint32_t ble_cts_c_current_time_read ( ble_cts_c_t const *  p_cts)

Function for reading the peer's Current Time Service Current Time Characteristic.

Parameters
[in]p_ctsCurrent Time Service client structure.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf the operation is successful. Otherwise, an error code is returned.
uint32_t ble_cts_c_handles_assign ( ble_cts_c_t p_cts,
const uint16_t  conn_handle,
const ble_cts_c_handles_t p_peer_handles 
)

Function for assigning handles to a this instance of cts_c.

Call this function when a link has been established with a peer to associate the link to this instance of the module. This makes it possible to handle several links and associate each link to a particular instance of this module. The connection handle and attribute handles will be provided from the discovery event BLE_CTS_C_EVT_DISCOVERY_COMPLETE.

Parameters
[in]p_ctsPointer to the CTS client structure instance to associate.
[in]conn_handleConnection handle to associated with the given CTS instance.
[in]p_peer_handlesAttribute handles for the CTS server you want this CTS client to interact with.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf the operation was successful.
NRF_ERROR_NULLIf a p_cts was a NULL pointer.
uint32_t ble_cts_c_init ( ble_cts_c_t p_cts,
const ble_cts_c_init_t p_cts_init 
)

Function for initializing the Current Time Service client.

This function must be used by the application to initialize the Current Time Service client.

Parameters
[out]p_ctsCurrent Time Service client structure. This structure must be supplied by the application. It is initialized by this function and can later be used to identify this particular client instance.
[in]p_cts_initInformation needed to initialize the Current Time Service client.
Return values
NRF_SUCCESSIf the service was initialized successfully.
static __INLINE bool ble_cts_c_is_cts_discovered ( const ble_cts_c_t p_cts)
static

Function for checking whether the peer's Current Time Service instance and the Current Time Characteristic have been discovered.

Parameters
[in]p_ctsCurrent Time Service client structure.
void ble_cts_c_on_ble_evt ( ble_cts_c_t p_cts,
const ble_evt_t p_ble_evt 
)

Function for handling the application's BLE stack events.

This function handles all events from the BLE stack that are of interest to the Current Time Service client. This is a callback function that must be dispatched from main application context.

Parameters
[in]p_ctsCurrent Time Service client structure.
[in]p_ble_evtEvent received from the BLE stack.
void ble_cts_c_on_db_disc_evt ( ble_cts_c_t p_cts,
ble_db_discovery_evt_t p_evt 
)

Function for handling events from the database discovery module.

This function will handle an event from the database discovery module, and determine if it relates to the discovery of CTS at the peer. If so, it will call the application's event handler indicating that CTS has been discovered. It also populates the event with the service related information before providing it to the application.

Parameters
[in]p_ctsPointer to the CTS client structure.
[in]p_evtPointer to the event received from the database discovery module.
